So I recently downloaded a update from Microsoft regarding Windows 7 Security, the full update name was: Security Update for Windows 7 (KB975561).
Yeh this update fixes a potential issue with attackers compromising the system however it also seems to be messing up built-in wireless adapters, connections keep dropping and then re-connecting.
The system will show this as the default gateway being unavailable and will ask you to check your router/modem settings.
No fix as yet but i'm looking into it.
Yours

So its not all it appears.
So, it turns out this "Fix" doesn't actually work at all, the function still doesn't "Keep Me Logged In" as it properly should.
I have filed a bug report with Facebook themselves along with a detailed process of what has been done. Still no reply from them but I will be delighted to see if this is resolved.
Not surprisingly Facebook do continue to disappoint me as everyone very well knows the privacy settings are all stupid, quite honestly I looked into my own settings and found that ALL my information was on show to everyone, I've since re-done all the settings to how I would prefer it and it works so much better.
The new Javascript/Ajax pop-up messages for notifications? Ok why not just pension off the entire toolbar at the top, since you would no longer need it. Wait!! I believe they might have removed them, alas in the absence of a small popup we now have 100px by 100px icons of the friend in the notifications list alongside a brief overview of the notification.
Seriously Facebook need to get there act together and make something everyone would enjoy, perhaps a small modification to the Ajax chat? or if they are going to keep the new additions, why not have a rollback feature for those that dont actually use/like them?
I have ranted on enough, so take care everyone,

Facebook Login Issue Fix?
I have recently found the fix to the sporadic login/cookie issues with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8.
It all lies with the security settings within IE8!! Unfortunatly I cannot access them at the moment since I'm using a restricted system, but rest assured I will be updating this from my personal laptop to bring you the fix.
In the mean time, enjoy.
All the best,
Dan

Login issues
Recently a couple of people have experienced login issues with facebook, in the sense that they CAN log in, but the usage of "Remember Me" or "Keep Me Logged In" doesn't entirely live up to its name.
I haven't yet researched the fix for this, but rest assured I will update when I find it, Either that or a member of the public can help out by commenting this post.
Anyway, All the best.

Basic news
So I haven't been around lately.. apologies for that but life got in the way.
Since I've been offline, Apple have released the Ipad, honestly its a overblown Ipod Touch, nothing more..
I thought I could concentrate this update on the GTA Series, mainly because I recently decided to see how quickly I could complete the latest full story (GTA4). Turns out the guide time in one of the achievements for Xbox 360 is slightly out.. missing out the side missions and cutscenes you can complete the entire story mission section all 90 or so mission in just under 21 and a half hours, provided you are thorough and don't waste time.
I also have done the two expansion packs for GTA4, (The Ballad Of Gay Tony *TBOGT, and The Lost and Damned *TLaD. Both games were great in graphics, sounds and continuity of characters against the original storyline, however two or three characters changed voices from the original.
Niko's voice changed in the TBOGT game
Brucies in TBOGT and finally Ray Buccino in TLaD.
I'm sure the voice actors were the same but the accents were very vague.
Overall the Base game (GTA4) is very good in storyline, continuity and also in the content it provides, the expansion packs are also very good at the same points, however they do lack a sense of timeline in the fact that the missions and storyline don't really hold themselves together. This is more obvious in the The Lost and Damned.
Personally I find the games very good and I look forward to seeing the fifth GTA game being released, sadly no news of that as yet but looking forwards we hope something good will happen.
Anyway, I've rambled on too long for some of you.
All the best,
Dan.
